Application filed June 22, 1910. Serial No. 568,371.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED C. Gn'rz, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sidney, in the county of Shelby and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Universal oodworking-Machine, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a universal woodworking machine.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of woodworking machines, and to provide a simple, compact and efficient universal woodworking machine of comparatively inexpensive construction, adapted to admit of the operation of any portion of it without dismembering the machine and removing parts and substituting other parts for the same, and capable also of enabling a plurality of o erations to be simultaneously performed by individual workmen wlthout one interfering with another.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion,

size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a side elevation of a universal woodworking machine,

. constructed in accordance with this invendrawings.

In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the frame of the universal woodworking machine comprises in its construction spaced parallel sides 1 and 2, connected at the bottom by transverse beams 3 and 4 andat the top by a transverse bridge or frame member 5.

The sides 1 and 2, which are constructed of suitable material, consist of legs and upper and lower horizontal integral connecting portions. The side 1 is relatively short and the other side 2, which is relatively long, extends beyond the side 1 at one end of the machine, and it is provided with a central vertical post (3, formed integral with and connecting the upper and lower horizontal portions of the extended side of the frame. The beams 3 and 4 are constructed of angle metal, and are provided with terminal attaching flanges 7 and 8, which are bolted to the inner faces of the sides of the frame. The extended side of the frame is provided at the upper edge of the lower horizontal portion with an inwardly extending horizontal flange 9, and the adjacent ends of the transverse beams 3 and 4 are fitted against the lower face of the flange 9. The' mediate of the ends of the extended side of the frame.

The transverse bridge or frame member 5 is hollow, being comnosed of upwardly and inwardly inclined sides, an inclined connecting top portion and integral end walls. The frame member 5 is open at the bottom and has one end seated upon the top of the extended side 2 of the frame, and provided thereat with horizontally projecting lugs or cars 10, which are secured by bolts to the side 2 of the frame. The other end wall of the transverse frame or bridge member is bolted to an intermediate vertically arranged plate or web 11 of a. longitudinally disposed vertical member 12, consisting of the said intermediate plate or web 11 and approximately triangular end portions 13, seated upon the top of the short side 1 of the frame and secured to the same by bolts, or other suitable fastening means. The triangular end portions 13 of the 1011- gitudinal frame member are located at the ends of the short side 1 of the frame of the machine, and each consists of a horizontal bottom flange 14;, an inner vertical flange 15, an inclined upper flange 16, and a longitudinal side plate or web 17 connecting the said flanges 14, 15 and 16 at the inner edges thereof and formed integral with the same. The intermediate plate or web, which con-'- nects and spaces the triangular end portions of the longitudinal frame member, is approximately U-shaped and is located centrally of the short side 1 of the frame and supports the adjacent end of the transverse bridge or frame member in spaced relation with the short side 1 of the frame.

The transverse bridge or frame member is provided at its ends with hollow vertical extensions 18 and 19, equipped with horizontally alined bearings for the reception of a jointer shaft 20, extending entirely across the frame of the machine and pro vided at the jointer side of the machine with a cutter head 21, which may be of any preferred construction. The terminal of the shaft beyond the cutter head is supported in a bearing 22 of an approximately inverted Y-shaped brace or support 23, forming upwardly extending arms and a pair of depending arms. The bearing 22, which is at the upper end of the arm, is sectional, the

upper section 24 being removable and secured by bolts 25 passing through projecting cars 26 of the upper section 24 and engaging threaded openings of ears 27 of the lower section of the bearing. The lower arms of the support or brace 23 are provided with openings 28 for the reception of horizontal rods 29 and 30, fixed at their inner ends to and extending outwardly from the longitudinal frame member and arranged at opposite sides of the intermediate portion 11 thereof. The lower ends of the depending arms are split at the openings 28 and are equipped with spaced inner and outer lugs 31 and .32. The outer lugs 31 have smooth openings through which pass screws 33, and the latter engage threaded openings of the inner lugs 32. The screws are provided with relatively heavy operating handles 34, and are adapted to clamp the support or brace on the horizontally projecting rods. The rod 29 is extended beyond the rod 30 to form a pivot to permit the brace when drawn outward beyond the end of the shaft and the end ofthe rod 30 to swing down- 7 ward to afford access to the cutter head to having horizontal to) portions to receive the sections of the ta le, and inclined bottom portions to fit the inclined guiding flanges to which they are secured by set screws 40. The table sections are adjustable 1 and engaging threaded openings'44 of the outer ends of the wedge-shaped sides. The adjusting screw and the set screws permit all the necessary adjustment of :the jointer table.

The universal woodworking machine is equipped with a vertically disposed shaper spindle 45, having a removable upper section 46, operating through the opening 47 of the rear section of the j ointer table, and adapted to be equipped with any suitable cutter or shaping tool. The shaper is adapt- :ed to be used either independently of or simultaneously with the jointer, and the table is equipped with suitable gages 48 .and 49, located in advance and in rear of the shaper and at the inner end of the cutter head, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 4 of the drawings. The shaper spindle is mounted in upper and lower bearings 50 and 51 of a bearing bracket 52, consisting of a flanged vertical portion 53 and an approximately L-shaped top portion 54. The flanged vertical portion 53 is provided at its lower end with an inwardly extending horizontal arm 55, carrying the lower bearing, which rests upon and is supported by the diagonally arranged connecting beam 4, The upper and lower bearings are sectional having removable sections, secured to the fixed sections by bolts, or other suitable fastening means, and

the lower bearing is cup-shaped being closed at the bottom to receive the lower end of the shaper spindle, which is stepped in the bearing 51. The L-shaped top of the bearing bracket consists of vertical and horizontal flanges, fittin against the bottom and inner side faces of t e adjacent terminal triangular portion of the horizontal frame member and secured to the same by bolts, or other suitable fastening devices. The hearing bracket is hung from the longitudinal frame member, and is located at one end of the short side 1 of the frame of the machine, as clearly shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings. The bearing bracket is also provided with a horizontal bearing .56, receiving a horizontal shaft 57, having an eccentrically arranged inner portion 58 upon which is mounted a pulley 59, carrying a friction member 60, which is shiftable by a partial rotation of the shaft 57 to engage it with either an upper friction disk 61, or a lower friction disk 62, or to carry it to an intermediate position out of contact with both the upper and lower horizontal friction disks 61 and 62 for the purpose of throwing the shaper spindle out of operation. The shaft 57 is provided at an intermediate point with a collar 63, arranged at the inner end of the bearing 50, and the outer end of the shaft 57 is equipped with an operating arm or lever 64, arranged at the outer end of the said bearing 56. The shaft is held against longitudinal movement in the bearing 56 by the collar 63 and the operating arm or lever 64. The operating arm or lever 64 carries a spring actuated detent 65 for engaging a toothed segment 66, which is bolted to a vertical flange 67 extending upwardly from the outer edge of the horizontal flange of the L-shaped head 54 of the bearing bracket.

The transversely disposed frame member 5 forms a support for a pair of spaced brackets 68, located at the space between the arms or portions 18 and 19 and tapered downwardly and having inner and outer inclined flanges 69 and 70. The brackets, which are arranged vertically in parallelism, are approximately triangular and are preferably provided with openings to lighten the structure. The inner inclined flanges 69, which extend upwardly and inwardly, are fitted against and bolted to the adjacent inclined side of the transverse connecting member 5 of the frame. The outer flanges 70, which extend upwardly and outwardly, are beveled at their side edges to form dove-tail guides for a movable saw supporting frame or bracket 71, composed of spaced sides and a connecting transversely disposed bottom portion 72. The saw supporting frame is movable upwardly and downwardly, and its sides are provided with longitudinal dovetail grooves 73, receiving the dove-tail guiding flanges 70 and slidably interlocking the saw carrying frame with the brackets 68. The saw carrying frame is also provided at opposite sides with projecting flanges 74,

equipped with bearings for a transversely disposed saw arbor 76, upon which is mounted a circular saw 77. The circular saw operates through an opening 78 in a saw table .79, arranged at the inner side of the front section 38 of the jointer table and preferably carried by the same. When it is desired to use the circular saw for cutting or ripping, the saw carrying frame is moved upwardly to raise the saw from the position illustrated in full lines in Fig. 5 of the drawings to the dotted position indicated in the said figure, and when not in use the circular saw is dropped below the saw table 79.

The transverse bottom portion of the saw carrying frame is provided with a projecting lug 80, having a threaded opening and engaged by a screw or threaded shaft 81., having a smooth lower portion 82, which is jourualed in a bearing 83 of a transverse bar or member 84, secured to and connect ing the brackets 68 at the lower ends of the outer inclined flanges 70. The transverse connecting bar is also provided at one end with a depending arm 85, having a bearing for the inner portion of the horizontal operating shaft 86. The inner end of the shaft 86 carries a bevel gear 87, which meshes with a bevel gear 88, mounted on the lower end of the jointer 81. The outer end of the horizontal operating shaft 86 is equipped with a hand wheel 89, provided with a suitable crank handle and adapted to be retated to actuate the threaded shaft or screw 81. lVhen the shaft or screw 81 is rotated, it raises or lowers the saw carrying frame according to the direction the hand wheel 89 is turned. The saw table 79 is equipped with a miter gage 7 9 and a straight gage 79 capable of adjustment with respect to the saw. The miter gage is slidably connected with the saw table, but as the particular construction of the gage does not constitute any portion of the present invention, further description thereof is deemed unnecessary. The spaced brackets 68 are also provided at the top with transversely alined bearings 90 in which is jourualed a boring spindle 91, disposed transversely of the machine and arranged at one side of the jointer shaft slightly below the horizontal plane of the same, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawings.

The side 2 of the frame of the machine has one end arranged in the same plane as one end of the relatively short side 1, and its otherend extends beyond the short side of the frame and is provided at the top of its outer end with a goose neck standard 92 of approximately C-shape, formed integral with the side 2 of the frame and arranged in the vertical plane thereof, and curved upwardly and inwardly and then upwardly and outwardly, the upper terminal portion of the standard 92 being disposed horizontally and extended outwardly to the vertical plane of a lower upwardly extending arm 93, also formed integral with the side 2. The side 2 of the frame is provided with a circular opening 94, located between the lower ends of the standard 92 and the arm 93. Within the opening 94 is arranged a sectional hearing 95 in which is jourualed a lower horizontal shaft 96, extending through the side 2 of the frame and pro ecting beyond the 'inner and outer faces of the same. The

lower section of the bearing 95 is formed integral with the side 2 of the frame and extends upward from the bottom of the opening, and the outer portion of the shaft 96 has mounted on it a lower band saw wheel 97. The standard 92 supports an upper band saw wheel 98, mounted on a horizontal shaft 99, which is arranged in vertical adjustable bearings 100. The upper and lower band saw wheels receive a band saw 101, and the terminal portion of the said standard 92 is equipped with a saw guide 102. The arm 93 supportsa pivotal saw table 103,located in advance of a fixed table 104, supported by a bracket 105, which is mounted on the standard 92 at the back thereof, and also forming a support for a rear guard 106. Also the particular construction for adjustably mounting the upper band saw wheel and the particular construction of the saw guide and the supporting means for the band saw tables 103 and 104 do not constitute a portion of the present invention, and as these parts may be varied in construction, further description thereof is deemed unnecessary.

The side 2 of the frame is provided at its outer face with a vertical guide 107 consisting of a bar either secured to or formed iii-- tegral with the sides of the frame, and extending above the same and receiving a vertically slidable carriage 108 of triangular form, provided in its inner face with a vertical groove 109- to receive the guide 107. The carriage 108, which tapers downwardly, is provided with a central vertical slot 110 through which projects a screw 111, mounted at its inner portion on the frame and equipped with a nut 112, which is in the form of a hand wheel. The screw preferably pierces the side of the frame and the guide bar 107, as clearly shown in Fig. 7 of the drawings, and the nut 112 is adapted to be operated to clamp and release the carriage. The carriage is raised and lowered by means of a vertical adjusting screw 113, swiveled to a lug 114 of the guide bar and engaging a threaded opening of a lug 115 of the carria e. The lug 114 extends horizontally from one side of the guide bar 107, and the screw is preferably swiveled to the same by means of collars 116 fixed to a smooth portion of the screw and arranged at the upper and lower faces of the lug 114. The lug 115 is arranged at the inner face of the carriage and is preferably formed integral therewith. The upper end of the vertically disposed adjusting screw is equipped with a crank handle 117, adapted to be operated to rotate the screw 113 for raising and lowering the carriage.

The carriage is provided at the top with outwardly extending horizontal guide rods 118, preferablysecured at their inner ends in openings of the carriage by screws 119 and provided at their outer ends with collars 120 for limiting the outward movement of a slidable work holder 121. The slidable work holder, which is provided at its lower face with inner and outer eyes 122 and 123 to receive the horizontal guide rods 118, is normally held in its extended position by coiled springs 124, disposed on rods 125 and interposed between the carriage and the work holder. The rods 125 are mounted on the carriage and extend horizontally therefrom, and their outer portions pass through openings of lugs 126, preferably formed integral with the inner eyes 122 and forming the bearing for the outer end of the springs 124. The slidable work holder 121, which is provided at its front edge with an abutment 127, is moved inwardly against the action of the coiled springs by means of a treadle 128, consisting of a lever pivoted at its inner end 129 to the side 2 of the frame adjacent to the lower end of the guide 107, and provided at its outer end with a foot plate and connected at an intermediate point to the lower end of a chain 130, or other suitable flexible connection. The chain 130 extends upwardly to and passes over a guide pulley 131 mounted on the carriage adjacent to the top thereof in a suitable bracket or support. The chain extends outwardly from the guide pulley 131 to the slidable work holder, and is connected at its outer end to the lower face of the same.

The jointer shaft is equipped at its inner end with a hollow mortising chisel 132, and the boring shaftis equipped with a chuck or head 133 for holding an auger 134, or other analogous tool. The work to be operated on is placed upon the work holder, and is pressed inward against the tool by the foot lever or treadle, and is moved out wardly away from the tool by the coiled springs 124.

The machine is driven from a transversely disposed main driving shaft 135, located beyond one end of the machine and connected by a belt 136 with any suitable source of power. The jointer shaft is equipped with a pulley 137, and is connected by a longitudinal belt 138 with the main driving or counter shaft 135. The pulley 53 of the shaper actuating gearing is connected by a belt 139 with the counter shaft 135, and the inner portion of the shaft 96 carries a pulley 140, which is connected by a belt 141 :he counter shaft. The counter shaft is also connected by a belt 142- with a pulley 143 of a transverse shaft 144, journaled in bearing brackets 145, which are secured to the sides of the frame at the opposite end from that at which the counter shaft is arranged. The transverse shaft 144 is connected with the boring spindle by a belt 146, arranged on pulleys 147 and 148, fixed to the transverse shaft 144 and the boring spindle, respectively. The saw arbor is also connected with the transverse shaft 144 by a belt 148", arranged on pulleys 149 and 150 and engaged by a belt tightener 151. The pulleys 148 and 149 are fixed to the saw arbor and the transverse shaft 144, and the belt tightener 151, which may be of any pre ferred construction, consists of a lever, fulcrumed at an intermediate point on the shaft idler pulley 152 and equipped at its other end with an adjustable weight 153, adapted to hold the idler pulley in. engagement with the inner flight of the belt 148 to maintain the latter taut throughout the adjustment of the circular saw.

In practice themachine Wlll be equipped with suitable belt shifters for throwing the band and circular saws, the jointer shaft and the shaper and boring spindles into and out of operation. The machine is so arranged that any one of these parts may be used, or a plurality of them may be operated simultaneously. It will admit of four workmen using the machine, one at the band saw, one at the circular saw, one at the jointer and one at the mortising or boring tool without interfering with each other. The integral character of the frame of the band saw insures perfect steadiness and stability and thereby enables a practical band saw to constitute a part of the universal woodworking machine. Various rotary devices, such as a grind stone, a disk sander, and the like may be mounted on the jointer shaft and used in connection with the slidable work holder. The slidable work holder may be readily detached to permit a felly rounder, or other device to be applied to the machine at that end of the jointer shaft.
